class daf.message.TextMESSAGE(start_period: Optional[Union[int, timedelta]], end_period: Union[int, timedelta], data: Union[str, EMBED, Embed, FILE, Iterable[Union[str, EMBED, Embed, FILE]], _FunctionBaseCLASS], channels: Union[Iterable[Union[int, TextChannel, Thread]], AutoCHANNEL], mode: Optional[Literal['send', 'edit', 'clear-send']] = 'send', start_in: Optional[Union[timedelta, bool]] = datetime.timedelta(0), remove_after: Optional[Union[int, timedelta, datetime]] = None)#

This class is used for creating objects that represent messages which will be sent to Discord’s TEXT CHANNELS.

Changed in version v2.3:

Slow mode period handling:: When the period is lower than the remaining time, the framework will start incrementing the original period by original period until it is larger then the slow mode remaining time.

Parameters:

start_period (Union[int, timedelta, None]) –
The value of this parameter can be:
- None - Use this value for a fixed (not randomized) sending period
- timedelta object - object describing time difference, if this is used, then the parameter represents the bottom limit of the randomized sending period.
end_period (Union[int, timedelta]) –
If start_period is not None, then this represents the upper limit of randomized time period in which messages will be sent. If start_period is None, then this represents the actual time period between each message send.

Caution

When the period is lower than the remaining time, the framework will start incrementing the original period by original period until it is larger then the slow mode remaining time.
Listing 17 Randomized sending period between 5 seconds and 10 seconds.#
```
# Time between each send is somewhere between 5 seconds and 10 seconds.
daf.TextMESSAGE(start_period=timedelta(seconds=5), end_period=timedelta(seconds=10), data="Second Message", channels=[12345], mode="send", start_in=timedelta(seconds=0))
```
Listing 18 Fixed sending period at 10 seconds#
```
# Time between each send is exactly 10 seconds.
daf.TextMESSAGE(start_period=None, end_period=timedelta(seconds=10), data="Second Message", channels=[12345], mode="send", start_in=timedelta(seconds=0))
```
data (Union[str, discord.Embed, FILE, List[Union[str, discord.Embed, FILE]], _FunctionBaseCLASS]) –
The data parameter is the actual data that will be sent using discord’s API. The data types of this parameter can be:
- str (normal text),
- discord.Embed,
- FILE,
- List/Tuple containing any of the above arguments (There can up to 1 string, up to 1 discord.Embed and up to 10 FILE objects. If more than 1 string or embeds are sent, the framework will only consider the last found).
- Function that accepts any amount of parameters and returns any of the above types. To pass a function, YOU MUST USE THE data_function decorator on the function before passing the function to the daf.
channels (Union[Iterable[Union[int, discord.TextChannel, discord.Thread]], daf.message.AutoCHANNEL]) –

Changed in version v2.3: Can also be AutoCHANNEL

Channels that it will be advertised into (Can be snowflake ID or channel objects from PyCord).
mode (Optional[str]) –
Parameter that defines how message will be sent to a channel. It can be:
- ”send” - each period a new message will be sent,
- ”edit” - each period the previously send message will be edited (if it exists)
- ”clear-send” - previous message will be deleted and a new one sent.
start_in (Optional[timedelta]) – When should the message be first sent.
remove_after (Optional[Union[int, timedelta, datetime]]) –
Deletes the message after:
- int - provided amounts of sends
- timedelta - the specified time difference
- datetime - specific date & time

generate_log_context(text: Optional[str], embed: Union[Embed, EMBED], files: List[FILE], succeeded_ch: List[Union[TextChannel, Thread]], failed_ch: List[Dict[str, Any]]) → Dict[str, Any]#

async initialize(parent: Any)#

This method initializes the implementation specific api objects and checks for the correct channel input context.

Warning

Upon updating, the internal state of objects get’s reset, meaning you basically have a brand new created object.

**kwargs (Any) – Custom number of keyword parameters which you want to update, these can be anything that is available during the object creation.

Raises:

TypeError – Invalid keyword argument was passed
Other – Raised from .initialize() method.

property created_at: datetime#: Returns the datetime of when the object was created

property deleted: bool#

returns: * True – The object is no longer in the framework and should no longer: be used.

DirectMESSAGE#

class daf.message.DirectMESSAGE(start_period: Optional[Union[int, timedelta]], end_period: Union[int, timedelta], data: Union[str, EMBED, Embed, FILE, Iterable[Union[str, EMBED, Embed, FILE]], _FunctionBaseCLASS], mode: Optional[Literal['send', 'edit', 'clear-send']] = 'send', start_in: Optional[Union[timedelta, bool]] = datetime.timedelta(0), remove_after: Optional[Union[int, timedelta, datetime]] = None)#

This class is used for creating objects that represent messages which will be sent to Discord’s TEXT CHANNELS.

Deprecated since version v2.1:
